The Mavericks’ owner said before Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers that he is investing “more than the [NBA] minimum salary” to fund the two-year study.

“I want to find out,” Cuban said. “I just want to know what reality is. And if we can improve recovery time, obviously that’s a plus for all of us. There was never any basis in fact for not allowing it for use [while recovering from injuries]. So let’s find out.

“Let’s find out what’s real and not real. If it turns out to have no impact, OK. If it turns out to have a negative impact, OK. If it turns out to have a positive impact, OK. There’s not an outcome they’re trying to get to.”
